HAIKU L ABORATORIES
Our logo is a geometric proof of the Pythagorean Theorem: if a right triangle has sides A and B and hypotenuse C, then C2 = A2 + B2. The four right triangles in the box (2 purple and 2 blue) are all identical, just translated to other locations to form the logo’s box. If we assign the letter C to the length of the longest side of each triangle, B to the next longest, and A to the shortest, then the area of each triangle is ½ BA. Furthermore, the area of the whole logo box is C2, and the area of the small white box inside the logo box is (B - A)2. Therefore, C2 = 4(½ BA) + (B - A)2. Re-writing this equation yields the Pythagorean Theorem.
